A few things to keep in mind about this list. First, these are simply the games that come to mind as I write this list. There are certainly others worthy of mention. Second, they are in no particular order. This isn’t a top list or a countdown, simply games I’d recommend if you haven’t played [...]
When it comes to plot, sometimes you just don’t want to do it yourself. For those times, there are many options.
